Ancient Road
General Fiction古道
Zhu Songhua
On the ancient Hunan-Guizhou Road, inns entertain guests from all religions and professions, porters travel across mountains and rivers to traffic goods, bandits appear and kill people and loot goods, and they are entangled with each other. The Japanese aggressors stepped into their homes with iron hoofs, and they hated their country and their families. They resolutely put aside their grievances and sacrificed their lives to stain the ancient road with blood, playing the clarion call to jointly resist foreign aggression... The ancient road rested and reflected on the righteousness pavilion to express their heroic feelings. The porters were all bare-chested, and the lumpy flesh on their bodies was a copper-like color. After climbing over the rolling horse slope, the soles of the straw sandals on my feet had almost worn out. Fortunately, it was a downhill road, and the bluestone slabs had long been worn smooth. It was indescribably cool and comfortable to step on. The mulberry wood poles on my shoulders could not help but tremble with the rhythm of the footsteps, singing "creepy, creaky", adding vitality to the quiet ancient road.

Zhu Songhua
Chunan produces coal. There are many coal kilns scattered around Longshanping, ten miles south of the county. The small ones have more than a dozen people working with picks and hand pushers, and people call them kilns; the big ones have hundreds of people, and use machinery to weigh the mines. Among all the coal mines, Li Yuhai's Longshanping Coal Mine is the most famous. Not only is it large in scale, but also rare is that it has never had any major safety accidents, so its efficiency is naturally higher than others. Some people say that his family's assets are close to tens of millions, and the inside story is unknown. However, it is absolutely true that he has been rated as an outstanding private entrepreneur for many years and was also elected as a member of the county CPPCC.
